Rangers Netball Club

Well the Challenge Carnival is this weekend and our Wests teams and especially our Rangers girls competing are excited that it is finally here.  Why not come down and watch/support our girls competing – it should be a great competition. Really too much netball is never enough!

Rangers is on Set Up Duty on Thursday 10 July.  So any volunteers who are free during the day from 8.00am please come down and help.  We are also rostered on for Pack up on Sunday 13 July from 2pm.  Don’t forget Rangers receives points for your time which can be used to help our club.

To ensure we receive the points the volunteer must sign in and out when they volunteer. The sign in sheet will be at the Club House window beside where we collect score cards normally. So don’t waste that volunteer time sign in when you arrive and say you are from Rangers.

But wait there is more – if anyone (especially Challenge parents) who want to volunteer during the weekend, eg Canteen Duty you can receive free car parking and the club receives the points. Just take your parking ticket, which you will receive once you have paid, and when you sign out from your volunteer shift they will refund your money. You must do two hours volunteering to get your money back.  So don’t forget to sign in!

The Challenge Carnival is an opportunity for Association Representative Teams from all over the state to come together and compete.  This year it is being held at OUR Association at Graceville.

Western Districts is asking all clubs to help make this Carnival the best ever, by volunteering our time and in return they will provide our Club with reward points.  We will be able to spend these points on light fees, coaching courses or umpiring courses.

Rangers girls competing in the carnival are: Sophie Jenkins, Imogen Cottell, Kate Ward, Lauren Ward, Grace Bobbermien and Meg Crisafulli

Rangers has selected Set Up duty on 10 July and Pack Up duty on 13 July.  A roster has been forwarded to your Manager/Coach.  If you are able to help please contact them as soon as possible.   So come on, help support our Association and our players by volunteering to-day!

One of the largest under age events for the year has been packed up - in attendance were 47 Associations, 1550 players, 155 umpires and over 300 coaches.  Our girls played in some tough conditions with Townsville unusually wet and cold- naturally they were equal to the task. In true Rangers spirit great to see so many of our parents making the trip to support the girls – and I hear had a few laughs as well.

Congratulations to our Intermediate players (Rebecca Fonoti, Rebekah Rounds, Milja Spasojevic, Savannah Tkatchenko, Micaela Ward) whose team won the 14s Div 1 Competition – Best 14s Team in the State!  Well done to Wests 13s Div 1 with our Alanah Jenkins who didn’t top the ladder but showed great improvement.  Big mention to Savannah and Cherie Smith (16s Div 1) who were injured but did what Rangers does best and supported their team.  And lastly but never least, well done to our Rhylee Spasojevic who was representing MacGregor at the Carnival.
